yeah, while it can be done - it's still not ethical. <br /><br />It's easy to remove the copyright notice from threads too.... but it's a voilation to do so. <br /><br />Software piracy happens - but it isn't cool. <br /><br />I've run pirated stuff on my system before - and I've ripped images and such from sites before. But you begin to think about the ethics of it more once you're involved in creating stuff. I no longer run unlicensed stuff. All my threads installs and photopost installs are legit. <br />I send shareware money to people too if I find out I like using something. <br /><br />I don't pirate music either - all my downloaded music is 100% legit from iTunes. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />If you "screw" all the creators of stuff - then they stop creating cool stuff.<br /><br />Knowing how hard that Rick and Dave and myself and the other beta testers work on Threads - it kind of agrivates me to find pirated copies of threads. he he Bring the death penalty to pirates! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> LOL
